Penthouse apartment overview - owner's description

This Penthouse forms part of Koh Tao Star Villa - a modern villa set in tranquil, jungle clad hills above Sairee Beach. This superb location gives you the best of both worlds - peace and isolation (perfect for a romantic break) and easy access to Koh Tao's tourist hot spot - Sairee Beach - where there is a huge variety of bars, restaurants and clubs to suit all tastes.

Our Penthouse apartment is truly a one-off property on Koh Tao. Its vaulted ceiling and open plan design are instantly striking, giving the sense of space and light and its panoramic views of Koh Nang Yuan, the surrounding jungle, Sairee bay and the Gulf of Thailand are mind blowing.

The Penthouse has nearly 200 square meters of living space providing ample room for up to 6 people. There is an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area; 2 bathrooms (one en-suite), two fully furnished, air conditioned bedrooms with king sized beds; a library on the mezzanine floor; and a large wrap-around west facing terrace. Add to this some high quality Yamaha audio/visual equipment, free Wifi, stunning panoramic sea and sunset views and customer service that goes "the extra nine yards" (including our free taxi service till 10.30pm) and you have an amazing place to stay on Koh Tao.

On a scooter or ATV, it takes less than 5 minutes to reach the beach, or a leisurely stroll takes less than 20 minutes and we do provide a free taxi service to Sairee up to 10.30 at night if you need it.

Set in just under an acre of grounds, the surrounding jungle is dotted with banana, mango, papaya and coconut trees where there is also ample opportunity for a jungle trek to see some of Koh Tao that many visitors dont get to see. Then from the vantage point provided by your terrace (about 100m above sea level) watch the sun settle down behind the mountains on the mainland some 70km distant. Then enjoy balmy evenings playing pool or a board game and listen to the daytime sounds of the tropical jungle become even more evocative at night. Turn off the lights, lie back and watch the splendour of the universe wheel across the night sky - on a good night, when the moon is new, you can see shooting stars and even the odd satellite pass over. If you would rather be inside, what about a quiet night in, in front of the T.V. or just listen to the many choices of music supplied over the T.V./satellite

Behind KTSV is a Buddhist temple, preserved as a retreat for monks on strict sabbatical from around Thailand and Myanmar. It is even possible to climb the rock behind the Villa (from the temple side) to see a fantastic 360 degree panorama of the island.

The Penthouse at Koh Tao Star Villa is designed for 4 people but can accommodate just 2 people at discounted rates (please enquire).

2 other reviews

The apartment was lovely with incredible views from the balcony plus Alan and Hedis hospitality, made this a really magical holiday! Being only a short walk from Sariee beach means is quiet and tranquil set up in the palm trees but you can get to the restaurants and shops really easily, especially as you get a couple of free taxi rides if you want them. Koh Tao is a beautiful island, with incredible snorkeling, a must see island and the wonderful accommodation! Rob, stayed August 2013
